Industries
Three verticals.
Deep expertise.
We don't generalize. Every vertical gets frameworks built for its specific regulatory, competitive, and clinical landscape.
Mental Health & Behavioral Health
Psychiatric practices, therapy groups, substance abuse treatment centers, and behavioral health organizations. We understand the sensitivity required to market behavioral health services while maintaining clinical credibility and regulatory compliance.
searches since 2020
Mental health searches have increased over 40% since 2020, yet most providers lack the digital infrastructure to capture this demand ethically. The gap between clinical excellence and online visibility is where practices lose patients to less qualified competitors with better marketing.
Pain Points We Solve
completion rate
initial appointments
Destigmatizing Campaigns
Messaging that normalizes seeking care and builds trust through empathetic, clinically-informed language.
LegitScript-Compliant Ads
Certified for Google and Meta addiction/mental health ad policies — we manage the certification process end to end.
Streamlined Intake
Encrypted intake forms, automated appointment reminders, and follow-up sequences that reduce no-shows by up to 35%.
Local SEO & GEO
Hyper-local visibility plus generative engine optimization so AI assistants recommend your practice by name.
The Unique Challenges of Marketing Mental Health Services
Advertising mental health and substance use treatment services is unlike any other healthcare vertical. Google requires LegitScript certification before you can run ads for addiction treatment — a process that involves facility audits, compliance documentation, and ongoing monitoring. Meta enforces special ad categories that restrict targeting options. Even organic content must navigate the tension between being findable and being clinically appropriate.
"Most agencies treat ad platform restrictions as obstacles. We treat them as competitive moats."
Practices that invest in proper certification and compliant campaign infrastructure face far less competition in paid search than those in unrestricted verticals. The result is lower cost-per-click, higher quality scores, and better patient-to-provider matching.
Beyond advertising, the intake funnel in behavioral health is uniquely fragile. A patient searching for a therapist at 11 PM may not follow through by morning. Our systems address this with HIPAA-conscious tracking pixels that attribute conversions without exposing PHI, encrypted intake forms that patients can complete on mobile in under three minutes, and automated appointment reminder sequences calibrated to reduce no-show rates.
We integrate with major EHR and practice management platforms so leads flow directly into your scheduling system — no manual data entry, no dropped contacts.
GEO and AIO Optimization for Mental Health Providers
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is becoming critical for mental health providers. When a prospective patient asks ChatGPT, Gemini, or an AI assistant "Who is the best psychiatrist near me for anxiety?", the answer draws from structured data, review signals, and authoritative content. Practices without GEO-optimized web presence are invisible in these responses.
What We Optimize For
Condition-specific queries (anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, substance use disorders), treatment modality searches (CBT, DBT, EMDR, medication management), and insurance-specific queries that signal high purchase intent.
We build GEO strategies specifically for behavioral health — structuring your service pages with schema markup that AI models can parse, creating condition-specific content that demonstrates E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness), and ensuring your practice appears in AI Overview panels for high-intent searches. This is the next frontier of patient acquisition, and most mental health practices have not even started.
Every piece of content we create serves both traditional search engines and the AI models that increasingly mediate the patient journey.
HIPAA-Compliant Tracking and Attribution
The intersection of digital advertising and patient privacy is where most marketing agencies fail behavioral health clients. Standard Google Ads conversion tracking, Meta Pixel implementations, and analytics configurations can inadvertently transmit Protected Health Information (PHI) — a HIPAA violation that carries penalties up to $50,000 per incident.
"You get the data you need to optimize spend. Your patients get the privacy they deserve."
We architect tracking systems that provide full-funnel attribution without PHI exposure. This includes server-side conversion APIs, first-party data architectures, consent management platforms configured for healthcare, and anonymized conversion events that tell you which campaigns drive appointments without revealing which patients clicked which ads.
Pain Points We Solve
before booking
optimized healthcare sites
Geo-Fenced Advertising
Precision targeting by location radius with AI-powered patient routing to the nearest available provider.
Multi-Location Branding
Centralized brand guidelines with localized messaging that resonates in each market.
Automated Scheduling
Integrated booking systems that eliminate manual bottlenecks and reduce time-to-appointment.
Per-Location Analytics
Centralized dashboards with drill-down views showing cost-per-acquisition, conversion rates, and ROAS by site.
Retail Healthcare Groups
Dermatology, dentistry, fertility, urgent care, optometry, med spas, and wellness networks. We drive patient volume across multi-location practices while maintaining brand consistency and operational efficiency at every site.
Whether you operate five locations or fifty, the challenge is the same: how to scale patient acquisition without sacrificing the localized trust that drives bookings. Generic national campaigns waste spend. Hyper-local campaigns without central oversight create brand fragmentation. We solve both.
Multi-Location SEO That Eliminates Cannibalization
The biggest SEO mistake multi-location healthcare groups make is treating every location page as a clone with a different address. Google recognizes thin, duplicative content and penalizes it. The result: none of your locations rank well, and a single-location competitor with a better-optimized page outranks your entire network.
"Each page targets a distinct keyword cluster based on local search patterns, ensuring your locations complement rather than compete with each other."
We build location-specific landing pages with unique, substantive content tailored to each market — local provider bios, community health statistics, neighborhood-specific messaging, and unique patient testimonials. Combined with proper Google Business Profile optimization, local link building, and review generation strategies, this approach compounds over time.
For groups adding new locations through acquisition or organic growth, we have a playbook for rapid SEO deployment — getting new locations indexed, ranking, and generating patient volume within 60-90 days of opening.
AI-Powered Patient Routing and Scheduling Optimization
When a patient searches for "dentist near me," the nearest location may not be the best match. They might need a specialist at a different office, or the closest location might have a three-week wait while another ten minutes further has availability tomorrow. Static "find a location" pages don't solve this.
Intelligent Routing Considers
Provider specialties, availability windows, insurance acceptance, patient preferences, and geographic proximity — to recommend the optimal location every time.
This reduces time-to-appointment (a key factor in conversion), improves patient satisfaction, and distributes volume more evenly across your network — preventing burnout at popular locations while underutilized sites sit empty.
Our scheduling optimization layer integrates with major practice management systems to surface real-time availability in ads and landing pages. When a patient sees "Next available appointment: Tomorrow at 2 PM" alongside your ad, conversion rates increase dramatically compared to generic "Call to schedule" messaging.
Review Management at Scale
For multi-location groups, online reviews are both the greatest asset and the greatest liability. A single location with a 3.2-star rating can undermine the brand equity you have built across fifty other locations. Yet managing reviews across dozens of Google Business Profiles, Healthgrades listings, and specialty directories is operationally overwhelming without systems.
"The goal is not just damage control — it is systematically building a review portfolio that signals trust to both search engines and AI models."
We deploy centralized review monitoring with automated alerts, templated response frameworks (customized per location manager), and proactive review generation campaigns triggered after positive patient interactions. Review signals are among the strongest local ranking factors, and they directly influence whether AI assistants recommend your practice.
Tier One Brands & Institutions
Financial institutions, industrial innovators, PE-backed growth companies, technology and cybersecurity firms. We translate technical complexity into trust-building narratives that resonate with high-stakes audiences — from investors and board members to enterprise buyers.
from strategic positioning
For PE portfolio companies, every dollar of marketing spend must tie back to EBITDA growth. For enterprise brands, marketing must unify acquired companies under a single narrative while satisfying compliance across jurisdictions. We build the systems and strategies that make both possible.
Pain Points We Solve
positioning window
Strategic Storytelling
Complex ideas made accessible and compelling for investors, boards, and enterprise buyers.
M&A Communications
Positioning that drives enterprise value in transactions — from pre-LOI through integration.
AI-Driven Performance
Campaign optimization powered by machine learning with investor-ready attribution dashboards.
Brand Capital Quantification
Measure and grow the intangible brand value that drives multiple expansion at exit.
Proving EBITDA Growth Through Marketing
Private equity sponsors evaluate marketing through one lens: does it contribute to EBITDA growth during the hold period, and does it create defensible value at exit? Generic brand awareness campaigns fail this test. What PE sponsors need is marketing infrastructure that generates attributable revenue, reduces customer acquisition cost quarter over quarter, and creates brand equity that an acquirer will pay a premium for.
"Every campaign, every channel, every creative asset ties back to revenue through closed-loop reporting."
We build marketing programs with PE-grade attribution from day one. Our dashboards show not just marketing metrics (impressions, clicks, conversions) but business metrics (cost per acquired patient, patient lifetime value, contribution margin by channel). This is the data that appears in board decks and CIMs.
For portfolio companies in healthcare, this means demonstrating same-store patient volume growth, de novo location ramp curves, and payor mix optimization — all driven by marketing. For technology and cybersecurity companies, it means pipeline acceleration, expansion revenue attribution, and net revenue retention improvements tied to demand generation programs.
Communications-Driven M&A Positioning
Through our partnership with RDLB, we offer communications-driven M&A positioning that treats brand as a balance sheet asset. Brand capital — the quantifiable revenue predictability, market positioning, and narrative strength behind a business — directly influences transaction multiples.
Pre-Transaction Work Includes
Brand capital audits that quantify intangible value, narrative development for acquirers, digital presence optimization that demonstrates market leadership, and investor-ready dashboards that translate marketing into enterprise value.
Clients have seen meaningful uplift in transaction multiples directly attributable to communications-driven positioning.
Post-transaction, we manage brand integration for acquisitive platforms — unifying acquired brands under a master brand architecture without destroying the local equity each brand carries. This is particularly critical in healthcare, where patients have relationships with their local practice, not with a holding company. Our integration playbooks preserve local trust while building platform-level brand recognition.
Enterprise Reporting and Investor-Ready Dashboards
Board members and PE sponsors do not review Google Analytics. They review board decks that connect marketing investment to business outcomes. We build reporting frameworks designed for this audience — translating marketing data into financial language: contribution margin by channel, customer acquisition cost trends, cohort-based lifetime value analysis, and marketing-attributed EBITDA.
"Every report is designed to answer the question sponsors actually ask: Is marketing making this business more valuable?"
Our reporting cadence aligns with board meeting schedules and investor update cycles. Monthly operating reports show tactical performance. Quarterly strategic reviews assess portfolio-level trends. Annual planning documents project marketing's contribution to enterprise value growth.
